Welcome. I started out on a Kat also. Great bikes for all day cruising.

I can't believe that there were no bids for the ZX10!

That sounds like a challenge.

If I passed a cop at that speed I'd go over a hill or around a turn, do a quick stop, hear the sirens and start flying the other direction. Then take as many detours as possible for a while. :grin:

When I'm not riding and enjoying the 1125R's sound I guess i could throw in some Erik Buell and the Thunderbolts. http://www.ratpakrecordsamerica.com/erikbuell

Here's some test results. Looks like Trend Micro and Kaspersky are pretty good. For some reason Norton isn't in there. LOL http://blog.metasploit.com/2009/09/nss-labs-endpoint-protection-test.html

I tend to get around 30 mpg.

I think I may head down and hit a few of those routes from www.motorcycleroads.us http://www.motorcycleroads.us/roads/oh503.html http://www.motorcycleroads.us/roads/oh350.html http://www.motorcycleroads.us/roads/oh222.html

Just wanted to warn everyone. Just when we thought the law against texting while driving was going to save us from the crazy cagers. Watch out for people reading novels while driving. http://www.phonelosers.org/beat-the-new-anti-texting-while-driving-laws/

Mission Motors has a pretty sweet machine. 100 ft/lb of torque from 0-150mph. http://www.ridemission.com/mission-one-superbike/the-bike/

Honestly, I haven't had a passenger on the 1125R. If I was a chick, there's no way I'd get on the back of my bike, knowing the way I ride.

Passengers mess up the weight distribution and handling. I left my passenger pegs on just in case a really hot chick wants to put her boobs on my back and I know that there's no chance she's going to let me touch them with my hands later. Otherwise, I agree with everyone else. Get her a bike. You both will have more fun.

Thanks for the compliment. I love it! I ordered an integrated tail, and I'm looking at some small detachable saddlebags. It's taken me a bit to get used to the additional amount of feedback (relative to my previous bikes), but now I love the ability to just feel exactly what the tires are doing.

I've never rode a cruiser, so I'm kind of looking forward to Demo Days this year. After test riding the 1125R at Demo Days, last year, I was sold.

I love the Flight of the Conchords! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqZcYPEszN8

The government wouldn't do the drug tests because it wouldn't be in their best interest. I've heard that U.S. Soldiers are actually protecting the Opium. http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSTRE62R0QH20100328 http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/28/world/asia/28intel.html?_r=2&hp http://rawstory.com/2010/03/marine-reportedly-killed-opiumfueled-private-contractors/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGT-0ibPCMk

Kind of reminds me of that $73,000,000 Rothko painting. Times Online Rothko 73 Million

Here's a sport tourer, lowered 3-inches. http://columbus.craigslist.org/mcy/1676948704.html It may need some saddlebags. http://www.newenough.com/parts/luggage/saddlebags_/nelson_rigg/cl850_motorcycle_touring_saddlebags.html

The 1100 should go at least 150. http://www.suzukicycles.org/GSX-series/GSX1100F.shtml

I had a 96 Katana 600. I got it pretty cheap. It was a lot of fun, and IMHO it is a great first motorcycle. http://www.ohio-riders.com/album.php?albumid=855&pictureid=10203

Wow! If the cost of a motorcycle was insignificant relative to my income, I'd probably have a few more.

I miss the Bloodhound Gang. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uukn4jR7UU

Hindsight is 20/20, but really the car was such a POS, that the dent wouldn't really make a significant impact in its overall appearance. If it had a nice new paint job, then that'd been a different story.
